Undecided, chapter 4
Maddy jumped around the stage enthousiastically. She love performing, she could just be herself, have fun, and nobody would care. Jase looked over at Maddy, he smiled, she reminded him of the muppets in Fragel Rock.
Rob looked up from his drums "she's doing it again," he thought to himself "god I love that girl!"
Her solo came, she leaned backand started to strum slowly then threw her foot on the pedal and sped up. The crowd jumped around, a mass of bodies on the dance floor, moving as one. It gave her such a high.
"Damn," said Tre.
"Yep," said Billie Joe unable to remove his eyes from the stage. The energy, the life, it reminded Billie Joe why he was into music in the first place.
Maddy looked out into the crowd, she saw him. Her heart stopped for a second, confused at first, no one had ever looked at her like that. Her stomach became filled with butterflies and she started to sweat. Come on Maddy, she thought to herself, it's just a guy, keep your cool.
The show ended too soon. Maddy was exhausted, but that didn't stop her from venturing out into the club to find Billie Joe. She found him at the bar.
"Hey," said Billie Joe.
"Hey, you came." said Maddy.
Tre came and put his arm around her, looked at Billie Joe and said :
"Well if it isn't our friend from the laundy mat! Nice to see you again!"
Maddy laughed and shook off Tre.
"Hey, do you guys wanna come hang out with me and my band in the back, free drinks!" she smiled incentively.
"Hey, why not?" said Billie Joe.
"K, I'll grab Mike" said Tre.
The three headed to the back room, and for the next three hours just talked. About everything. Maddy started to feel something in her stomach. Am I nervous? She asked herself. Oh god I'm falling for him!
"Maddy, how bout you show me your bus?" asked Billie Joe.
"Uh... sure." She was in full panic mode, is he hitting on me? What do I do? Oh, god, what if theres that awkward silence when we leave the group? A million questions ran through her head.
They got up and headed out the building, contrary to Maddy's fears, they conversed quite well. Once they reached the bus, Billie Joe burst into laughter.
"Hey, shut up! This is our bus!!"
"This is no bus, its an RV with "Bus" spray painted on the side!!"
Maddy laughed at the memory of the night on the road, that she, Jase, and Rob, got loaded, and quite tired of hearing people make fun of their RV they decided to make it a real "tour" bus. Boy were they drunk!
After Billie Joe and Maddy finished laughing at the "bus", Billie Joe headed towards the door, it was open. He walked in, and Maddy went chasing after him. He stood there holding a pink bra in the air, Maddy went bright red, and Billie Joe burst into laughter. Maddy had left all the clean laundry on the couch. Rob walked in, saw Billie Joe holding the bra in the air, raised an eyebrow, grabbed a clean shirt, then walked out. Billie Joe and Maddy fell to the floor laughing. They couldn't stop. Billie Joe hadnt laughed that hard since, well he couldnt remember. He leaned over and kissed her. He kissed her hard, and she kissed back.
That same night there was someone else in the club eyeing Maddy. Not for her looks, but for her talent. A producer from a record company had heard about Scout, and decided to check them out. Absolutely blown away by them, he decided he just had to sign them.
Maddy and Billie Joe just laid there in silence, a comfortable silence. Just then, Sara walked in, Sara being her friend, manager and driver.
"Sorry to interrupt guys but somebody wants to see you Maddy."
"Uh... ok. You can wait here." said Maddy.
"No, it's getting late I better header." smiled Billie Joe.
"Ok, I'll see you later?"
"Sure." said Billie Joe leaning in and kissing her softly on her forehead.
Maddy headed back into the club. It was like she was floating on a cloud, every movement came so naturally. She walked into the backroom, everyone had left except Jase, Rob and some man she did not recognize, she looked at the boys iquisitively, they shrugged their shoulders, so she sat down.
"You guys are probably wondering who I am and why I want to talk to you, right?"
"Yep." replied all three at the same time.
"Well, I want to sign you guys..."
The rest was a blur, Maddy just smiled and nodded. It was like she had died and gone to heaven. Little did she know that Billie Joe felt the same way...
Billie Joe laid in his hotel bed, staring at the ceiling, he couldn't get her out of his head. How could he be in love? He was only 20. Too young, anybody who fell in love at this age, is just asking for trouble he thought to himself. But he still couldn't get her out of his head. Besides, it could never work, both were travelling, and neither of us know anything about each other, Billie Joe wondered why he was being so cynacle. It's just lust, he told himself, but that kiss...
Maddy laid in her bunk, staring at the bars holding up Rob's bunk above her head. I am the luckiest girl in the world, she thought to herself. I hope this never ends, she couldn't stop thinking of how dast htings were going, Im only 19, is this real, a million thoughts ran through her head. One day everything is just so routine, the next nothings the same, she wondered what had caused this sudden change, and if it were for the better.
Oh God, she thought to herself, what about Billie Joe? The RV was already half an hour outside of the city, on its way to LA to meet up with the producer. I didn't even get his phone number, tears started to well up in her eyes, how could I let this happen? It all happened so fast, Maddy just lost control. Wait, didn't he say something about being in a band? Maddy searched through her memory, Green Day! That was what he said, maybe it was all just an act. Yeah that's it, just another band member trying to get in her pants, all just a game, she told herself, but that kiss....
Billie Joe arose from bed at seven the next morning, for once he was excited to get up. Didn't she say something about being in town for another few days, he asked himself, yes that was it until Wedmesday, wait what day is it? Oh yah, Tuesday, he reminded himself. He threw on some clothes and put a bit of gel in his hair. He walked down the street, his excitment was hardly contained. The grin on his face as he walked down the street caused people to turn their heads. He just had to see her, he could't stop himself. He reached the same alley way, turned the corner, and the bus was gone...
Rob looked up from his drums "she's doing it again," he thought to himself "god I love that girl!"
Her solo came, she leaned backand started to strum slowly then threw her foot on the pedal and sped up. The crowd jumped around, a mass of bodies on the dance floor, moving as one. It gave her such a high.
